ADAM’S REST

Nobody wants to be bothered

Except for what they have already chosen to do;

That is the reason there is so much madness about;

It is essentially living in a zoo.

 

No one loving or working together,

Nothing heartfelt or true;

The other one judging what the first one saw

While the second one is looking at you.

 

A sad affair,

When tried to be understood;

I cannot do what I know that I should;

I am not sure that it would be in my best interest

Or for that matter for anybody’s good.

 

Nobody knows what is for the best;

Everybody has their own  reality test;

In the end, all the queries must come to rest

In the same place where the first one ever stood.

GOD’S GIRLS

I do not need dozens of girls around

Livening up the trip;

I just need one special girl from afar

To help me to get a grip;

And it is the same with spirits

And whiskeys and wines;

It is not necessary to take a gulp

But only to savor a sip;

You see I take my lesson from

A God of one Word

Who wants quality

Over a run on from the lip.

FINAL CHAPTER

No one can do anything.

I am on my own alone;

Heading for the horizon,

A lonely, unknown zone.

Even I just keep going through the motions,

Waiting for a solution to be shown;

Hoping for a deus-ex-machina

To throw this poor dog a bone;

But even dogs cannot help me now,

Old ladies or old stand-bys;

Just like the final chapter

I am watching the unfolding story

With a sigh; Clinging

To every small remembrance,

Not wanting the drama to die;

Searching for a new revelation

On which to find hope to fly.

Denial, depression, anger,

Bargaining to buy a little time;

Time, the one big thing

I thought to love

When I thought this world was mine.

But I will return to the beginning

To satisfy the end;

Remembering

There is always another springtime

Waiting around the barren bend.
